Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Dunkirk, MD.

One kind of payment assistance that some drug rehabilitation programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the person will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this family and financial information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Dunkirk only makes $18,000/year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further financial help to afford the discounted amount. Intake administrators can help people or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual finishes rehab.
